Only what’s behind me
And still I keep running forward
Arms outstretched
Hoping they will stop me from running headlong into a wall
But I run more slowly with my arms outstretched
Sometimes I must pull them back to my sides
Let their pumping help carry me farther, faster
Trust that my legs will know the way ahead
By what’s behind

I can’t see what’s in front of me
Only what’s behind me
And still I keep running forward
Arms outstretched
Hoping they will stop me from running headlong into a wall
But I run more slowly with my arms outstretched
Sometimes I must pull them back to my sides
Let their pumping help carry me farther, faster
Trust that my legs will know the way ahead
By what’s behind
